Biographies of incumbents (monarchs, popes, presidents, prime ministers) are often linked together by boxes, including the predecessor and successor. For other series of articles, see Wikipedia:Article series.

{{s-start}}
{{s-bef|before= [[Otto Stich]]}}
{{s-ttl|title= [[Member of the Swiss Federal Council]]|years=1995-}}
{{s-aft|after= ''n.a. (still in office)''}}
{{s-end}}

This structure can also work for any long chain of items:

{{s-bef|before= [[Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution|20th Amendment]]}}
{{s-ttl|title= Amendments<br>[[United States Constitution]]}}
